Re: [DIY] Re: Wood deck question

 

I found 10 gallons of the Flood CWF-UV5 oil-based clear. Our deck has been curing since July in a sunny exposure and 3' off the ground. 

It is an under cover porch... no sides yet. Eventually will screen it in.
The guy said he couldn't tint it.

John and Karen - you must wait a year with new pressure treated wood so that it can

dry out sufficiently and become porous enough for any of the deck stains to soak in.

I am beginning to think that if it might cost 3 or 4 hundred dollars every couple of years
for deck stain maintenance.
( way more if you pay for labor to have it done including pressure washing cleaning etc )

Actually in my case every 5 or 6 years as I am lazy and cheap....
that it might make sense to compare the newer  composite deck boards made with 
nylon or vinyl or PVC etc etc like Trek  or Nyloboard etc.

Yes these boards are more expensive up front but might not be more expensive
over 20 years of use and they may last far longer than pressure treated wood.
